Section II DESCRIPTION
3. DESCRIPTION.

a. General. The 45-ton, 12-wheel (12dt) Trailer M9 is a platform-type trailer consisting of the main frame assembly which forms the main portion of the vehicle, and the gear frame assembly which is fundamentally a dolly to form the front suspension assembly of the vehicle. The rear end of the trailer slopes down so that two hinged ramps may be used to facilitate rear loading of heavy tanklike vehicles. A compressed air service brake system is designed to be operated from the towing vehicle. Manual controls and linkage are designed for mechanical application of the brakes to secure the vehicle while parking. b. Main Frame Assembly. The main frame assembly forms the track guides and load bed or runways of the trailer (fig. 2). It is supported at the rear by two tandem axle and trunnion assemblies which are bracket-mounted to the main frame assembly. Sheaves and cable rollers to facilitate the winch loading of disabled vehicles, tool, and equipment compartment, upper fifth wheel plate, and brake operating components comprise the remainder of the main frame assembly.

c. Gear Frame Assembly (fig. 3). The gear frame assembly or trailer dolly is formed by a box-like steel structure which supports the front end of the trailer. Two trunnion beam and axle assemblies form the suspension for the gear frame. These are bracket-mounted under the gear frame. The drawbar, parking operating mechanism, and lower fifth wheel plate comprise the remainder of the gear frame assembly.

Section III FRONT AXLE AND TRUNNION ASSEMBLIES

DESCRIPTION AND DATA. a. Description. Two front axle and trunnion beam assemblies are mounted in line across the front of the trailer (fig. 1). The trun nion beam is a cast frame with spindles at either end which pivot in bracket-mounted bronze bushings, allowing traverse movement of the assembly. The trunnion beam is supported at the rear by a main spring and bracket assembly and at the front by a hanger bracket (fig. 4). The front hanger bracket carries a bronze bushing and piv.ots on a shaft which permits an up-and-down movement of the assembly. The front hanger bracket is mounted in a bracket welded to the underside of the gear frame, and the main spring and bracket assembly is bolted to the gear frame. Each trunnion beam carries the axle and brake shafts which support two wheels with brake drums and two sets of brake shoes. The right and left axle and trun nion assemblies are identical except for the brake shoe camshafts which are right and left and, therefore, not interchangeable.

DISASSEMBLY.

a. Removal and Disassembly (fig. 5). For procedure on re moval from trailer and disassembly of front axle and trunnion assem bly, refer to TM 9-768.
b. Front Trunnion Main Spring Bracket (fig. 5). Due to the extreme tension placed on springs when assembled at the factory, the main spring bracket should be placed in a clamp or press to compress main springs before removing nuts. Using a bar for lev erage, compress the small spring and remove cotter pins, nuts, and springs from the bolts (fig. 5). Release the tension on the main springs, separate the bracket from spring seat, and remove the large main springs.

6.

CLEANING, INSPECTION, AND REPAIR.

a. Cleaning. Remove the lubrication fittings from trunnion beam and brackets (fig. 5). Clean all dirt and grease from the holes with compressed air. Steam-clean all parts of the trunnion beam assembly. b. Inspection and Repair.

(1) CHECK TRUNNION BEAM SPINDLE AND AXLE SHAFT THREADS. Inspect trunnion beam spindles and axle shafts for damage to threads. Clean up threads by using a 6-point, NF, 12-threads-per-inch die with a thread restorer, or by turning nut on spindle or shaft and tapping nut with a hammer.
(2) CHECK TRUNNION BEAM SPINDLE AND AXLE BEARING SUR FACES. Measure diameter of trunnion beam spindles at bearing sur faces. Diameter of new part is 2.999 0.001 inches. Measure diam eter of axle shafts at bearing surfaces. Diameter of new shaft is 2.985 to 3.000 inches. (3) CHECK FOR BEND (fig. 6). Place the gage in position along side of trunnion beam with the single pronged end of the gage held firmly against the extreme outer end of trunnion beam spindle bear-

ing surface. Adjust the double prongs on the other end of the gage until they contact the bearing surface; then move the gage over to the rear side of the trunnion beam. If either of the two prongs fail to contact the spindle, a bend in the trunnion beam is indicated. Use a feeler gage to determine the amount of the bend. If the bend is more than 0.025 inch, replace the trunnion beam. If checking both sides of one spindle reveals no bend, turn gage end-for-end and check the other spindle on the opposite end without disturbing the setting of the prongs. If there is a clearance at either of the prong ends, check with a feeler gage. If the prongs are in contact at both points, the trunnion beam is not bent. Check the axle shafts in the same manner. If a bend in excess of 0.010 inch is found, straighten axle or replace with new shaft. (4) CHECK BRAKE CAMSHAFT. Measure diameter of camshaft at bearing surfaces. Diameter of new camshaft is 1.997 to 2.000 inches. Examine key and keyway for damage. If keyway is worn, replace camshaft. Visually inspect flat ends of shaft. If bent, straighten end, or replace camshaft. (5) FRONT TRUNNION HANGER BRACKET BUSHINGS (fig. 5). Clean inside of bracket bushings with dry-cleaning solvent before inspection. Examine bushings for roughness, scores, or looseness in bracket. Measure inside diameter of both bushings. Bracket shaft bushing has a new inside diameter of 1.255 0.001 inches. The larger bracket bushing (for trunnion beam spindle) has a new inside diameter of 3.005 0.001 inches. Remove bushings by pressing or
10

driving them from bracket. Position new bushing in bracket squarely with the hole so that no oilhole in bushing will coincide with lubri cation fitting hole in bracket when bushing is pressed into place. Press bushings in bracket until flush with face of hole. Ream bracket shaft bushing to 1.255 0.001 inches. Ream larger bracket bushing to 3.005 0.001 inches. (6) FRONT BRAKE CAMSHAFT BUSHINGS (fig. 5). Remove set screws which secure camshaft bushings in trunnion beam. Examine bushings thoroughly for looseness, scored, or worn condition. Measure inside diameter of bushings at several points to detect elongation or out-of-round condition. The new bushing has an inside diameter of 2.005 0.001 inches. Drive out old bushings, using a 3A-inch long tapered punch. Position new bushing squarely alined with bushing bore and tap lightly all around edge of bushing to start it squarely into hole. Use old bushing to drive new bushing in trunnion beam until seated in hub. Tap bushing soundly all the way around bushing edge to be sure it is seated at all points. Install bushing in opposite side of trunnion beam in the same manner. With bushings in place, drill anc^ tap holes in bushing for %-16NC round point set screws. Line-ream bushings to 2.005 0.001 inches inside diameter. Install set screws so they will hold bushing but will not project through bush ing walls, and tighten set screw jam huts. (7) FRONT TRUNNION MAIN SPRING BRACKET BUSHING (fig. 5), Inspect bushing for wear and looseness in bracket. Measure inside diameter of bushing. New bushing measures 3.005 0.001 inches. Remove old bushings by pressing them from spring brackets. Posi tion new bushing so that no oilhole will coincide with lubrication fitting hole and press into place in bracket. Ream bushing to 3.005 0.001 inches. (8) MAIN SPRINGS AND BRACKET (fig. 5). Examine springs for breakage, rusted, or out-of-line 'condition. Measure the free or ex tended height of springs. Replace small springs if free height is less than 4% inches. Replace large springs if free height is less than 8Vi inches. Inspect spring seat for fractures or badly worn bolt holes. Examine bracket mounting bolts and nuts for worn condition or dam aged threads. Replace bolts and nuts if threads are damaged beyond repair.

7.

ASSEMBLY.

a. Front Trunnion Main Spring Bracket (fig. 5). Place a thin film of grease in bracket bushing before assembly. Insert the two bolts in spring seat and place in clamp with spring seat down (fig. 7). Place the two large main springs in position on spring seats. Position front trunnion mounting bracket over the two springs and install the small coil springs on the mounting bolts.

Section IV REAR AXLE AND TRUNNION ASSEMBLIES

8. DESCRIPTION AND DATA.
a. Description. The trailer is supported at the rear by two axle and trunnion assemblies, mounted side-by-side to the main frame. Each assembly is provided with two axles mounted in identical axle brackets which carry the wheels, brakes, and brake shafts. Two wheels with dual tires-are mounted on each axle so that each axle and trunnion assembly carries four wheels and eight tires (fig. 1). The axle brackets are mounted on a trunnion shaft with a rocker beam between them which allows transverse movement of the assembly while the rocker beam is free to oscillate on its axis. The trunnion rocker beam pivots on a shaft mounted in a bracket which is welded to the trailer main frame. A brake camshaft extends through eac.h axle bracket for operation of the right and left brake assemblies (fig. 8). The trunnion shaft, rocker beam shaft, and brake camshaft turn in heavy, bronze bushings which are held in place by set screws (fig. 9).

Inspection and Repair.

(1) SHAFTS (fig. 9). Use an axle gage and check axle and trunnion shafts for bend (par. 6 b (3)) (fig. 6). Straighten shafts if bent or replace if necessary. Inspect axle and trunnion shaft for damage to threads. Clean up burs with a fine 'file or replace shaft if threads are stripped. Measure axle shaft bearing surfaces. Diameter of new shaft is 2.985 to 3.000 inches. Measure diameter of trunnion shaft. Diameter of new shaft is 3.245 0.001 inches. Check brake camshaft as outlined in paragraph 6b (4). (2) CAMSHAFT BUSHINGS (fig. 9). Check inside diameter of cam shaft bushings and examine bushings for looseness in the bracket. Camshaft bushings have new diameter of 2.005 0.001 inches. To replace bushings, remove set screws holding bushings in axle bracket and drive out the bushings. NOTE: To prevent bending the axle bracket when removing bushings, place a brace between the two sec tions of the bracket. Press bushings into place in axle bracket. Drill % e-incn holes in bushings at lubrication fitting hole. Line-ream bush ings to 2.005 0.001 inches. With bushings in place, drill and tap holes in bushing for %-16NC round point set screws. Install set screws so they will not project through bushing walls. Tighten set screw jam nuts securely. (3) TRUNNION AXLE BRACKET BUSHING (fig. 9). Check axle bracket bushing for worn and scored condition. Check inside diameter. Inside diameter of new bushing is 3.251 0.001 inches. If worn, replace the bushing. If a bushing remover is not available, cut down one side of bushing with a cape chisel and drive out old bushing. Press new bushing in each end of axle bracket but do not press bushing beyond end of bracket. Ream bushings to 3.251 0.001 inches. (4) TRUNNION ROCKER BEAM BUSHING (fig. 9). Measure inside diameter of trunnion rocker beam bushing. Inside diameter of new bushing is 3.005 0.001 inches. To remove bushings, remove set screws from rocker beam, and drive out old bushings. Position bush ing so that no oilhole in bushing will coincide with lubrication fitting hole when pressed into place. Install new bushings in each side of rocker beam so that oil groove in bushing meets lubrication fitting hole in rocker beam. With bushings in place, drill and tap holes for 3/s-16NC round point set screws. Install set screws so that they will not project through bushings and tighten jam nuts. (5) TRUNNION AXLE BRACKET (fig. 9). Inspect axle bracket for cracks, rusted condition or other damage. Check the set screw tapped holes at camshaft sections for damaged threads.

Section V MAIN FRAME AND BRACKETS

12. DESCRIPTION (figs. 10 and 11). a. The main frame is of all-welded construction, fabricated of structural steel. The frame supports two steel plate runways, which are equipped with four steel chock blocks bolted in selective positions at the ends of the runway (fig. 2). Two adjustable track guides are bolted to the inner sides of the runways and two loading ramps are hinged to the frame rear crossmember (fig. 2). Steel plates form the main frame front cover, apron, cable trough, and stowage com partment. Two winch cable rollers and sheaves mounted on the for ward top side of the frame are provided to assist in guiding the winch cable when loading the trailer, by using the winch mounted on the towing vehicle (fig. 3). A kingpin is welded to the apron plate under the forward end of the trailer main frame to provide the connecting link between the trailer main frame and gear frame.

13. REPAIR OF FRAME MEMBERS. a. General. Due to the rugged design and construction, repair of the main frame consists of welding, straightening, or replacing dam aged steel brackets, plates, or members.
b. Straightening Bent Frame Members. Use combinations of hydraulic jacks and chains working against heavy I-beams to straighten frame members. Heat the member to be straightened if cold straighten ing is not possible. CAUTION: Do not heat the metal above a cherry red, as extreme heat will weaken the structural characteristics of the frame members. c. Replacing Frame Members (fig. 12). Cut out frame mem ber, or section, to be replaced, making a cut at a 30-degree angle to the retained portion. Insert the new section which has been cut to fit

and grease from the hole. Inspect bushing for scores or looseness in bracket. Measure inside diameter. Inside diameter of new bushing is 3.005 0.001 inches. If inside diameter of bushing measures more than 3.012 inches, replace bushing. c. Repair. Remove set screw holding bushing in bracket. Using a long drift, drive alternately on each side to remove bushing. If diffi culty is experienced in removing bushing by this method, remove bushing by cutting down one side of bushing with a caping chisel and drive bushing out from either side. Carefully aline new bushing so that set screw hole in bushing is in line with set screw hole in bracket. Start bushing into bracket by tapping lightly around edge of the bushing to be sure it starts into hole squarely. Use the old bushing to drive the new bushing into place, or until the outer edge of bushing is flush with bracket bore; then use a drift to drive the bushing the rest of the way in until it seats. Install set screw. After both bracket bushings have been replaced, line-ream bushings to 3.005 0.001 inches. 15. KINGPIN. a. Description. The drop-forged, steel kingpin is .welded to the upper fifth wheel plate or apron plate under the forward end of the main frame (fig. 11). A mounting flange above the apron plate helps to support the kingpin. The lower end of the kingpin is threaded as a means of locking it into the gear frame with the kingpin nut. b. Cleaning and Inspection. Clean kingpin with dry-cleaning solvent and blow out the grease pipe hole with compressed air. Inspect pin for scores, worn bearing surface, or damage to threads. Diameter of new pin is 4.998 + 0.002 inches. If kingpin is worn excessively, metallize and refinish or replace with new pin. c. Replacement. Cut the fill weld securing the kingpin flange to apron plate and drive kingpin out of plate. Working from other side of plate bevel, grind surplus weld material from hole, grinding at a 45-degree angle so that upper diameter of hole is 5 % 2 %2 inches. Center new kingpin in hole and clamp pin in position. Fill 45-degree bevel cut with fill weld, being careful not to let weld extend below plate. 16. CABLE ROLLERS AND BRACKETS (figs. 10 and 14). a. Description. Two cable rollers are bracket-mounted, one to the front and one to the rear of the cable sheaves at the top of the main frame.
